Hi all
Just wanted to clarify that I wasn't being critical :) I appreciate all the
work you guys(and girls?) are doing. It was brought to my attention that my
previous email could be read as overly cynical, please don't take it that
way. You've got a great system going, and really if I'm trying to use your
stuff and have troubles, it's my own issue, haha. So yeah, please don't
think I'm having a go at you at all! I thank you (all) a lot for your work
and your promt replies and constant help. I hope to be able to contribute
something useful in return at some point in time, too :)
Cheers
Ben
